Chapter 1553

“Life is all about reconciliation.”

Decades passed in the blink of an eye. Diana’s children had all grown up.

Kate and Isaac had both passed away. Even Diana’s old friends, Fanny and Oliver, had left the worldtoo.

Fanny was never able to get pregnant again after that rainy night. She had gradually let go of herdesire to get pregnant under Oliver’s persuasion.

They stayed relentlessly by each other’s side, albeit childless.

Over the years, having experienced all that life had to offer and being each other’s best friend, Oliverdied on a peaceful night, never awaking again.

Fanny held his hand while sending him off, and closed her eyes forever as well.

Diana had seen too many people off in her lifetime.

She had grown old herself, too. She could see her life slowly ebbing away.

“Julian, I’m so happy to have lived my life with you.”

She had transformed from a disgraced young woman to Mrs. Fulcher, respected by in person when shecontracted a terminal illness.

She was content with life, feeling as though there was nothing else she could ask for. She hadeverything she had ever wanted.

“Julian,” she said, sensing that her life was coming to an end. “Don’t be like Fanny, so anxious to comefind me after I die. Live on well, live on for us.”

The stubborn and tempestuous old man finally bent over in tears.

Julian sobbed uncontrollably.

When Sean saw his father in that state, he wanted to comfort him, but had no idea how. He finallydecided to call his sister over.

Betty folded her sorrowful father in her arms. “Daddy.”

Julian saw Betty, who bore a striking resemblance to Diana when she was young, and cried evenharder. “I can’t bear to leave her, I can’t…”

They had used the best medicine, and engaged the best doctors in the world. Even Vans had used upall his best resources to try to save Diana’s life.

But, eventually… “She would only suffer more if we press on like this.”

It was better to just let her go.

Who knew that letting go would be this painful?

But Diana no longer needed to be hooked up to any medicine, and she looked to be in much betterspirits today.

She even called Julian many times, sweetly calling him ” honey”.

At night, she even kicked up a fuss for Julian to cook some soup for her.

It was something she was great at cooking in the past, and it gradually became something that Julianwas good at whipping up, too.

He selected each and every ingredient with care, and the room was filled with the fragrance of theporridge when he brought it over to Diana.

“Honey, time for some porridge.”

He said it gently, but he heard no response.

He stubbornly continued calling out to her.

“Honey, time for some porridge.”

But… Diana never got to enjoy that bowl of porridge.

Everyone said that she was finally free. Julian comforted himself that Diana, amidst all the pain andsuffering she was experiencing, was finally free.

But when he went home and saw her clothes on the bed and the soup that she never got to eat, hecouldn’t help but yell into the air, “Damn you, freedom!”

He cried once again.

Sean and Betty stood outside the room with their brothers, looking at their father, who hadn’t thrown afit over the years

but was now on the verge of collapse like a child.

They had lost their mother.

Julian had lost the woman he loved most his entire life.

In the year that followed, Julian did his best to live on well as Diana told him to. He did everything thatDiana didn’t manage to do after she fell sick.novelbin

One spring day, he died in front of her grave-in her favorite season of the year.

He could finally go find her, and they would never be apart!
